The attack would not work as the miners wouldn't include only the attacker's transactions but the transactions with the highest fees. All this attack would achieve would be an enforced min fee of 0.0001 + x. The solution would be a wallet that rebroadcastswith higher fees every 5 minutes of not getting the tx in a block.

I am no expert but I would think such an attack would be counter to the holders interest. If they can't move their bit coin it becomes worthless. 

Rational self-interest. Study some game theory and try again.

It doesn't matter whether mining is profitable or not.

There is a certain amount of SHA-256 ASIC mining gear in existence and this mining gear just can't magically "disappear".
If mining becomes unprofitable for some miners, then they will sell their hardware. This means that others will buy that very same hardware.
This doesn't change the hashrate at all. It only means that some part of the hashrate will change ownership.

The hashrate can't decrease unless people really start to throw their hardware into the recycle bin.
But no one with half a brain would do that while there are people who want to buy that hardware.

I know that the hashrate decreased once in the past, but that was only because there was still GPU mining at that time.
GPU mining has the serious flaw that mining gear can be used for something else than mining (e.g. gaming) which puts the network at risk of losing this hashrate again.

Luckily, GPU mining is over, so this can't happen anymore. The waste majority of produced ASICs will keep mining until the end of its lifetime.

I told Satoshi to call it Digicashbills (DGB) instead of bitcoins, but he didn't listen. .

Good news.  I was able to get a withdrawal to work eventually after many, many failed attempts.
The trick was to manually paste the withdraw URL and if the form appeared attempt to withdraw.  I think I had over a dozen tries and I'm not sure which one was the successful one.  Also, I tried withdrawing a whole number (e.g., 1) for amount and that worked.  I'm now trying to withdraw the fraction but haven't yet gotten that successfully withdrawn.

Exactly, Gyft does this and more + 3% points back

Forbes suddenly hears about some random company eGifter deciding to accept Bitcoin, yet apparently missed the memo on Gyft all this time!

I'm just creating a fork in between two sides

That I believe should probably part their ways for now...

When tyrrany will strike and know it will...

it will check if you can you still love...

And I believe it is time for all the love in this world to stop judging each other for so many different reasons

I understand I judge and ask you not to judge...

but this road is a little longer than I could fathom

7 days were all that I'm allowed...I'd still want to fight for Peace but there

are many places where the fire needs to spread light...

help the people test it regularly...

let those who try to break the system burn...

In how many days are we getting this campaign started for an Open Sourced

development banking on human judgement

That sounds fine...

Who judged Mt. Gox to be greedy??

Although It is quite possible they're playing with peoples lives...How aware are they about all this

and should we help such a big investor in Bitcoin or not...

I'm just an investor in BTC...

I fear the security it needs is from itself...and I know for sure my system protocol will create a valuable society...

people could finally start trusting each other online...this should probably be the last layer for the Bitcoin onion

Now, that Bitcoin has so many people it continues to make mistakes of big organisations...

It doesn't pay heed to the people inside it...

Some of the best innovations are come across by the smallest cogs of organisations...

Have the patience to find out if they're worth it?? It is time for an additional protocol in Bitcoin

In view of the recent malleability issue in Bitcoin protocol, I was wondering if it would help to have a feature to approve/disapprove incoming transactions.
For example if someone sends you 'mystery' 1 satoshi which you don't want. You can disapprove the transfer and it goes back to the original address.

Just wanted to warn and advise that the site BetsOfBitcoin http://betsofbitco.in/ is not closing betting statements, the effect being that your BTC is essentially locked-up, in limbo, and not available to be withdrawn. This is a shame, because the concept of BetsOfBitcoin is a good one.

I was more referencing the likelihood of similar skeptics in 1935.  And how if everyone had listened, we would have lost out on the last 75+ years of research into one of the foundations of Quantum Mechanics.
't

I feel like with enough effort I could find a newspaper giving this exact quote in 1935 over the original postulate.

Before it is opened for the world to recognize the private key is corrupted, is the bitcoin dead, alive, or both at the same time?

You do not understand. For every mathematical operation there is a reverse operation. For every left side of the equation there is a right side. Just because you think there is no proof of the reverse operation doesn't mean that the enemy doesn't know it.

Im from the UK and agree, hes embarrassing, he may be a great coder, if so he needs to concentrate on that and let the people who are better at pr and communication do their stuff, like Andreas.
